Au Contraire Chardonnay Russian River 2016

Round and elegant with perfect balance, this Chardonnay offers a pronounced lemon citrus core with notes of pear and crisp apple. Pairs well with shellfish, cream sauces, roasted chicken, fish, and zesty grilled vegetable dishes as well as mild gouda and soft cheeses.

While steely in acidity, this wine offers a counterbalance of fleshy pineapple and mango flavors. It finds a balance between both sides of the equation and also shows great integration with the oak.
